The continent and decades spanning drama is coming to Netflix in April.
The feature film debut of acclaimed TV writer/director Alan Yang (Master of None), Tigertail tells the story of a Taiwanese man who emigrates to New York in the 1950s, leaving behind the woman he loves. Decades later, he decides to reconnect with his past. Yang's film stars Hong-Chi Lee, Tzi Ma, Christine Ko, Joan Chen, Yo-Hsing Fang, Kuei-Mei Yang, Kunjue Li and Fiona Fu.
Tigertail is on Netflix April 10th.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
In this poignant multi-generational drama, Pin-Jui (Hong-Chi Lee) is a free-spirited yet impoverished young Taiwanese factory worker, who makes the difficult decision to leave his homeland — and the woman he loves — behind in order to seek better opportunities in America. But years of monotonous work and an arranged marriage devoid of love or compassion leave an older Pin-Jui (Tzi Ma) a shadow of his former self. Unable to sympathize with his daughter Angela (Christine Ko) and at risk of living out his retirement in solitude, Pin-Jui must reconnect with his past in order to finally build the life he once dreamed of having.
